The chefs of JTBC‘s ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ and the brothers of ‘Knowing Brothers’ will meet.

The ‘Knowing Brothers’ that will air on the 8th will feature chefs Lee Yeon-bok, Jung Ho-young, and Park Eun-young, who are currently appearing on ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ after a 5-year hiatus. They plan to reveal various episodes with their witty banter that is no less than their impressive cooking skills.


According to the production team, Lee Yeon-bok revealed his convictions, saying, “Even if Michelin gives me a star, I have no intention of accepting it.” Then, he adds detailed imagination, saying, “Even if I was given a star, I would go to the awards ceremony and say, ’I will refuse‘ and come down in style.”

Japanese chef Jung Ho-young makes people laugh by sharing an anecdote, saying, “I have Korean and Western cuisine licenses, but I don’t have a Japanese cuisine license. I was so nervous about what the person next to me was doing at the Japanese cuisine test center that I failed the test.”



Jung Ho-young also chooses ‘Challenger Chef’ Park Eun-young when asked who he would like to compete against on ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’. Regarding this, Jeong Ho-young reveals a surprising reason, saying, “I think I‘ll get good at it quickly once I get used to it, so I have to hold it down in the beginning.”

Meanwhile, Park Eun-young tells a heartwarming story from the recording, saying, “When actor Song Joong-ki, who appeared as a guest on ’Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,‘ was tasting the food, he carefully caught my empty plate and shared his food with me.”

The show airs at 8:50 p.m. on the 8th.
